Carmichael. who last Tues day night In the little Methodist church at Rattle Run, Mich., killed Gideon Browning, the village carpen- ter, and then burned the body in the atove, committed suicide here today by cutting his thoat with a pocket-knife. He died at the county hospital after he had been taken from the boarding; ', house of Miss Miranda Hughes," where,- as a" stranger, he had been living since last Friday.. In, a long letter found in hla suitcase, Carmichael told in detail the story of the Rilling "of Browning; how he had fallen a victim to Browning's hypnotic power and meeting him ; in the Church Tuesday night was compelled to obey every command; how finally, when Browning attacked him with .knives, he, Carmichael, defended himself with a hatchet. After killing his victim with the hatchet, he said, the red hot stove In the church suggested Itself as the best method of disposing of the body. Before putting the bodv In the stove, however, he exchanged some of the dead iman'i clothing for his own, which had. become bespattered with blood. '."!(, Asked Catholic to Aid Him, - Carmlchael's death was almoet as horrible aa that of his victim. When he arrived at the Hughes boarding house he gave the name of John Elder, and as he said he was a woodworker and had come here to start a factory, no suspicion was attached to his presence. Once he went to a Catholic priest and declaring he was a Catholic asked the Influence- of the members of the church In helping him in his busi- Going about the town and in and out the tjoardlng house, he gave, no indication of brooding over .the murder, although all this time he most have thought about It, for the written confession had been prepared and was concealed among his belongings in hla room. - Although so far as he knew he was still beyond the reach of detectives, ,the crisis came this morning about 7:30 'O'clock when he Informed Miss Hughes that aa no satisfactory, site for his factory could be found here :. he intended to go to Howen, III. .' .. ,, Cut His Throat in a Shed. "I think I will find a better site there," he said. "I'll take the 9 o'clock Qavln. tHta l,a n'Ant 'nlif Intn thfe back yard. - As he delayed coming bifijt and had not returned at train time to- get his suit case, the landlady instituted a search. A passing teamster was hailed and he, with others, joined the searchers. But Carmichael by his own hand, ' so far as he was able,- had expiated his crime. In an old Wooden shed back of the house he had cut his throat. The cutting had been done with a pocket knife which lay By his side. The dying man was carried into the house, but he never recovered consciousness and died at 1 p. m. His clothing and suit case were searched and two letters were found, one addressed to his wife at Rattle Run,1 which was sealed and remains unopened, : The other letter wag the confession, which was addressed to the sheriff at Port Huron, Mich. There was also found in, his pocket a memorandum directing that his night shirt and money be sent to his wife. The money consisted of a small amount of change. Appeared! in Happy Frame of Mind. Carmichael arrived here over the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy road. On Inquiring for a boarding house he was directed to that managed by Miss Hughes. He appeared '. in a happy frame of. mind and talked freely with every one regarding his plans for coming here and starting a factory. Going carefully about the town, he Inspected all the business places. His keen -Interest In Carthage aroused Interest in his project. Even up to the t ftnent ' When he suddenly said he n to leave town there was no token of any mental perplexity he might have been suffering, The statement in his confession that he constantly dreaded being captured by the detectives, as he knew he Inevitably must be, was not borne out at all in his conduct here, for instead of acting as one In fear, he appeared to be cheerful, retired early and reappeared In the mornings as fresh as if he had enjoyed a good night's rest. ' At an Inquest tonight the coroner's Jury returned the following verdict; , "We, the' jurors, find that the supposed) John H. Carmichael came to his death by his own hand and exposure to cold." Originally Bound for Kansas City. Carmlchael's isult case arrived here Saturday; morning from Burlington, having been rechecked from Donnell-son, la,' This indicates that Carmichael had gone through Burlington to Don-nellsoh and thence returned to Bur-. : llngton Friday, allowing his suit case r to follow him. It is thus probable that ' the ; ; minister - left Chicago on Wednesday afternoon or that night, arriving here on Wednesday evening or Thursday and going on to Donnell-son.

Affair Well Managed by Board of Trade and Throng "is Happy. Nothing undervalued to the famous ball at Brussels which Byron immor talized: Brussel capital had gathered there Her beauty and her chivalry was that democratic yet sumptuous affair with which the society of the state welcomed Governor Harmon and family, last evening at Memorial hall, where something less than 3000 per sons In gala attire, ? danced, smiled. chatted, suppered and made merry un til long after the day had become yet terday and tomorrow today. Neither the dowagers who stood in the receiv- Jng line, resplendent in satin and jewels, nor the veterans whose silvered hair told of service during the civil war, had memories of anything more splendid or. on the whole, more suc cessfully managed than . last night's ball. Everything had been so clearly mapped out, each arrangement had been so well thought out and executed and there was such ever present help In the Bhape of an efficient and widely deployed floor and reception commit tee, that no one went astray or was ill at ease for more than a, moment. Whole Aspect Metropolitan, '. Entrance to the hall was made through" a long canopy that reached to the curb. Carriages were required to approach from the east, discharge pas sengers and leave west bound. There were, it seemed, almost as many automobiles parked in Sixth street. Broad street East, and Fifth street North and South as there is at the Madison Square Garden In New York, when the horse fair is at Its height. Indeed the whole -aspect of the affair was most metropolitan. ' . , Inside the entrance the guests were directed to either of the two stairs that led to the second floor. At the foot of each stairway, a heartless officer demanded the tickets, without which coveted bits of engraving, ingress was impossible. Although there was no trouble there were some unpleasant half moments for forgetful people. Wraps were supposed to be checked on the second floor and this was one of the few points that came in for criticism. There . was not sufficient space to accommodate all who' presented themselves between 10 and 11 o'clock, nor were there sufficient men in attendance. It was further remarked that there was no place where the women could remove their carriage boots, without embarrassment, or straighten their coiffure, or secure a possible first aid to the complexion. Confusion was heightened by the fact that early comers were leaving as late comers were arriving and in leaving, It was often necessary for the guests to enter the cloak room and find their own belongings. . Decorations Truly Splendid. In the balcony floor, immediately behind the seats . was the buffet. This particular part ' of the building increased In -popularity as the evening wore away. From the balcony, the guests who cared to dance or to meet the receiving party, descended to the main floor, which had . been cleared of nil seats and decorated in a truly splendid fashion. . , - The entire outer circle was edged in with a row of dwarf evergreens and' the stage, upon which was seated a band of 80 pieces, was screened by a double row of these ' evergreens, in-tersprsd with palms. Strands of Southern smilax stretched from the great arch to the balcony and at every convenient point; the national colors added a note of glorious color to the scheme of decoratlgns. . ,. The orchestra pit had been banked In with palms and decorative ehrubs and before it, upon a carpeting of rich rugs, the reception committee stood and greeted the guests. Promptly -at 10:10 Governor Harmon and Mrs. Harmon, accompanied by the military staff, arrived and took their places at the head of the line. For more than half an hour the new executive greeted the guests and then, calling for his staff about him, he left for the smoker. ' Of Surpassing Brilliancy. , , Mrs. Harmon ' remained for some time after the governor had left. - A little while before , going, Governor Harmon asked that the dancing might be started and under the cover of this he withdrew. The program of dances was without special feature, the one time essential grand march having been omitted. The scene, as a whole, , was one of surpassing brilliancy and animation. Although there were 3500 Invitations sent out, which - would have meant 7000 persons had every one ben used, and while little less than one-half were taken advantage of, the hall was filled to almost its capacity for more than three hours. ,- Had any more responded, the result would have been discomfort to all and there w ire Inward prayera of relief from many of the committee that exactly the number came that did. Vat-led toilets nf the women vied with' the brilliant uniforms of army officers-, while the civilians present were for the most part in conventional evening attire.

WILL TALK AGAIN Does Not Deny Trying to Get Land and Declares Roosevelt Lives in a Class House. By Associated PreM to glt Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Being greeted by applause from the galleries when he entered the senate chamber today to reply to President Roosevelt's strictures In respect to his connection with Oregon timber land transactions, Senator "Tillman of South Carolina, proceeded to read . his prepared remarks with little attempt at oratorical effect. He was given careful attention by senators on both sides of the cham. ber, the public and private galleries being taxed to their full capacity by visitors, who occupied all the seats and standing room, while outside the entrances long lines of men and women unable to gain admission , stood for nearly three hours vainly hoping to enter the galleries. ... In addition to his set speech, Mr. TUlman had prepared other! brief remarks, which he read. , v - "It has been expected and desired," he said, "that having made my own defense, I should turn my batteries on my assailant. I do not feel that my strength is sufficient ' for the double task, for my physicians have warned me against overtaxing myself. One of the truest and best sentiments In English literature is this from Tennyson: 'Soiling another will never make one's seir clean.'.

K.an clean and honorable do not- auduftnly become liars and : hypocrites... at 61 without-any necessity.. "Later on in this session it is my purpose to devote some time to bringing Theodore Roosevelt face to face with his true self, and let the people or. me unitea states see what character of man they have been so bowed down to. For the present I content myself with applying to him this auo- i.u.uun , irom spencer s Fairy .Queen 'He ranges throughout . the Vwho'le world, neither Is there any that- can restrain him. Of late he has 'grown especially presumptious and pestilent, barking at and biting all alike, whether they be blameworthy or innocent. None are free from his attacks. He spares neither the learned witness, nor the gentle poet, but rends and tears without regard of person, reason or time.' " Mr. Tillman in opening his formal address said: . In. m5L Publlc. work here I have not hesitated to criticise and comment on the official actions and utterances of President Roosevelt, and I have doubtless given him good cause to seek revenge. I have, at various times, arraigned him in the senate for tyrrani-cal Invasion of the rights of congress, for usurpation of authority not given him by the constitution, for disobedience of the law and the neglect of duty, and particularly n the case of Mrs. Morris, for brutal and cruel conduct toward a helpless woman. I was not aware that these darts of mine had quivered in the executive hide and stung him so, but the eagerness and in. tensity with which he has presented his case against me, his making a precedent when none has existed before, his taking from the committee to which he has forwnrded them the papers and giving them to the press before that eommlttee had considered them, indicates that Theodore Roosevelt enjoys to the limit the feeling of getting even with Ben Tillman, and lays on the 'big stick' with the keenest relish, doubtless believing that the 'pitchfork' has gone out of business "Treats Senate With Contempt." In addressing the senate, Mr. Tillman arose to a question of personal privilege, declaring that for the first t'me In the htetory of this government, so far as he had been able to learn. a member of the senate had besn brought to the bar of public opinion uefore the senate itself to be Judged under Indictment by no less a person than the president of the United States. The manner of doing it, he said, and the animus and zeal displayed by the chief executive were worthy of consideration. Mr. Tillman called attention to the publication of these charges by the president before they had been considered by the committee of the senate to which they were referred and declared that in so doing the president had treated the senate with "that contempt which has been his wont." Hu declared that the president was an adept at advertising and had usee the press with more skill than any man in American politics. Mr.- Tillman continued: Another probable reason for his great haste was that he sought to distract attention from the action of the house of representatives on Friday in laying part of his message on the table, by the Bensatlonal accusation against a man who has had long service in the senate. placed Ju Ananias Club. An examination of the president's letter to Mr. Hale, which might Just as well have been a special message of the type with which we are so familiar, will show that the president's charges, boiled down, amount tov two In number. First, he promotes me to membership In the Ananias club and charges In effect that I have deliberately lied to the senate. . - Second, he charges thaf I have exerted my official influence' and work as a senator for my personal Benefit alone, to secure the passage of t: resolution and to press the department of Justice to bring suit against the Corporation, which holds so much, of the public domain in the West, and willj not sell it to settlers under the term of their grants from the government .

After killing his victim with the hatchet, he said, the red hot stove In the church suggested Itself as the best method of disposing of the body. Before putting the bodv In the stove, however, he exchanged some of the dead iman'i clothing for his own, which had. become bespattered with blood. '."!(, Asked Catholic to Aid Him, - Carmlchael's death was almoet as horrible aa that of his victim. When he arrived at the Hughes boarding house he gave the name of John Elder, and as he said he was a woodworker and had come here to start a factory, no suspicion was attached to his presence.

A passing teamster was hailed and he, with others, joined the searchers. But Carmichael by his own hand, ' so far as he was able,- had expiated his crime. In an old Wooden shed back of the house he had cut his throat. The cutting had been done with a pocket knife which lay By his side. The dying man was carried into the house, but he never recovered consciousness and died at 1 p. m. His clothing and suit case were searched and two letters were found, one addressed to his wife at Rattle Run,1 which was sealed and remains unopened, : The other letter wag the confession, which was addressed to the sheriff at Port Huron, Mich. There was also found in, his pocket a memorandum directing that his night shirt and money be sent to his wife. The money consisted of a small amount of change. Appeared! in Happy Frame of Mind. Carmichael arrived here over the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy road. On Inquiring for a boarding house he was directed to that managed by Miss Hughes. He appeared '. in a happy frame of. mind and talked freely with every one regarding his plans for coming here and starting a factory. Going carefully about the town, he Inspected all the business places. His keen -Interest In Carthage aroused Interest in his project. Even up to the t ftnent ' When he suddenly said he n to leave town there was no token of any mental perplexity he might have been suffering, The statement in his confession that he constantly dreaded being captured by the detectives, as he knew he Inevitably must be, was not borne out at all in his conduct here, for instead of acting as one In fear, he appeared to be cheerful, retired early and reappeared In the mornings as fresh as if he had enjoyed a good night's rest.

Affair Well Managed by Board of Trade and Throng "is Happy. Nothing undervalued to the famous ball at Brussels which Byron immor talized: Brussel capital had gathered there Her beauty and her chivalry was that democratic yet sumptuous affair with which the society of the state welcomed Governor Harmon and family, last evening at Memorial hall, where something less than 3000 per sons In gala attire, ? danced, smiled. chatted, suppered and made merry un til long after the day had become yet terday and tomorrow today. Neither the dowagers who stood in the receiv- Jng line, resplendent in satin and jewels, nor the veterans whose silvered hair told of service during the civil war, had memories of anything more splendid or. on the whole, more suc cessfully managed than . last night's ball. Everything had been so clearly mapped out, each arrangement had been so well thought out and executed and there was such ever present help In the Bhape of an efficient and widely deployed floor and reception commit tee, that no one went astray or was ill at ease for more than a, moment. Whole Aspect Metropolitan, '. Entrance to the hall was made through" a long canopy that reached to the curb. Carriages were required to approach from the east, discharge pas sengers and leave west bound. There were, it seemed, almost as many automobiles parked in Sixth street. Broad street East, and Fifth street North and South as there is at the Madison Square Garden In New York, when the horse fair is at Its height. Indeed the whole -aspect of the affair was most metropolitan. ' . , Inside the entrance the guests were directed to either of the two stairs that led to the second floor. At the foot of each stairway, a heartless officer demanded the tickets, without which coveted bits of engraving, ingress was impossible. Although there was no trouble there were some unpleasant half moments for forgetful people. Wraps were supposed to be checked on the second floor and this was one of the few points that came in for criticism. There . was not sufficient space to accommodate all who' presented themselves between 10 and 11 o'clock, nor were there sufficient men in attendance. It was further remarked that there was no place where the women could remove their carriage boots, without embarrassment, or straighten their coiffure, or secure a possible first aid to the complexion. Confusion was heightened by the fact that early comers were leaving as late comers were arriving and in leaving, It was often necessary for the guests to enter the cloak room and find their own belongings. . Decorations Truly Splendid. In the balcony floor, immediately behind the seats . was the buffet. This particular part ' of the building increased In -popularity as the evening wore away. From the balcony, the guests who cared to dance or to meet the receiving party, descended to the main floor, which had . been cleared of nil seats and decorated in a truly splendid fashion. . , - The entire outer circle was edged in with a row of dwarf evergreens and' the stage, upon which was seated a band of 80 pieces, was screened by a double row of these ' evergreens, in-tersprsd with palms. Strands of Southern smilax stretched from the great arch to the balcony and at every convenient point; the national colors added a note of glorious color to the scheme of decoratlgns. . ,. The orchestra pit had been banked In with palms and decorative ehrubs and before it, upon a carpeting of rich rugs, the reception committee stood and greeted the guests. Promptly -at 10:10 Governor Harmon and Mrs. Harmon, accompanied by the military staff, arrived and took their places at the head of the line. For more than half an hour the new executive greeted the guests and then, calling for his staff about him, he left for the smoker. ' Of Surpassing Brilliancy. , , Mrs. Harmon ' remained for some time after the governor had left. - A little while before , going, Governor Harmon asked that the dancing might be started and under the cover of this he withdrew. The program of dances was without special feature, the one time essential grand march having been omitted. The scene, as a whole, , was one of surpassing brilliancy and animation. Although there were 3500 Invitations sent out, which - would have meant 7000 persons had every one ben used, and while little less than one-half were taken advantage of, the hall was filled to almost its capacity for more than three hours. ,- Had any more responded, the result would have been discomfort to all and there w ire Inward prayera of relief from many of the committee that exactly the number came that did.

WILL TALK AGAIN Does Not Deny Trying to Get Land and Declares Roosevelt Lives in a Class House. By Associated PreM to glt Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Being greeted by applause from the galleries when he entered the senate chamber today to reply to President Roosevelt's strictures In respect to his connection with Oregon timber land transactions, Senator "Tillman of South Carolina, proceeded to read . his prepared remarks with little attempt at oratorical effect. He was given careful attention by senators on both sides of the cham. ber, the public and private galleries being taxed to their full capacity by visitors, who occupied all the seats and standing room, while outside the entrances long lines of men and women unable to gain admission , stood for nearly three hours vainly hoping to enter the galleries. ... In addition to his set speech, Mr. TUlman had prepared other! brief remarks, which he read. , v - "It has been expected and desired," he said, "that having made my own defense, I should turn my batteries on my assailant. I do not feel that my strength is sufficient ' for the double task, for my physicians have warned me against overtaxing myself.

For the present I content myself with applying to him this auo- i.u.uun , irom spencer s Fairy .Queen 'He ranges throughout . the Vwho'le world, neither Is there any that- can restrain him. Of late he has 'grown especially presumptious and pestilent, barking at and biting all alike, whether they be blameworthy or innocent. None are free from his attacks. He spares neither the learned witness, nor the gentle poet, but rends and tears without regard of person, reason or time.' " Mr. Tillman in opening his formal address said: . In. m5L Publlc. work here I have not hesitated to criticise and comment on the official actions and utterances of President Roosevelt, and I have doubtless given him good cause to seek revenge. I have, at various times, arraigned him in the senate for tyrrani-cal Invasion of the rights of congress, for usurpation of authority not given him by the constitution, for disobedience of the law and the neglect of duty, and particularly n the case of Mrs. Morris, for brutal and cruel conduct toward a helpless woman. I was not aware that these darts of mine had quivered in the executive hide and stung him so, but the eagerness and in. tensity with which he has presented his case against me, his making a precedent when none has existed before, his taking from the committee to which he has forwnrded them the papers and giving them to the press before that eommlttee had considered them, indicates that Theodore Roosevelt enjoys to the limit the feeling of getting even with Ben Tillman, and lays on the 'big stick' with the keenest relish, doubtless believing that the 'pitchfork' has gone out of business "Treats Senate With Contempt." In addressing the senate, Mr. Tillman arose to a question of personal privilege, declaring that for the first t'me In the htetory of this government, so far as he had been able to learn. a member of the senate had besn brought to the bar of public opinion uefore the senate itself to be Judged under Indictment by no less a person than the president of the United States. The manner of doing it, he said, and the animus and zeal displayed by the chief executive were worthy of consideration. Mr. Tillman called attention to the publication of these charges by the president before they had been considered by the committee of the senate to which they were referred and declared that in so doing the president had treated the senate with "that contempt which has been his wont." Hu declared that the president was an adept at advertising and had usee the press with more skill than any man in American politics. Mr.- Tillman continued: Another probable reason for his great haste was that he sought to distract attention from the action of the house of representatives on Friday in laying part of his message on the table, by the Bensatlonal accusation against a man who has had long service in the senate. placed Ju Ananias Club. An examination of the president's letter to Mr. Hale, which might Just as well have been a special message of the type with which we are so familiar, will show that the president's charges, boiled down, amount tov two In number. First, he promotes me to membership In the Ananias club and charges In effect that I have deliberately lied to the senate. . - Second, he charges thaf I have exerted my official influence' and work as a senator for my personal Benefit alone, to secure the passage of t: resolution and to press the department of Justice to bring suit against the Corporation, which holds so much, of the public domain in the West, and willj not sell it to settlers under the term of their grants from the government .

There were things the people could do better for themselves under their state governments than by calling for the aid of ' the Hercules of the federal government. Chief of these was the regulation of corporations. That should be left to th state, but an end must be put to giving state charters to corporations whose securities do not represent good faith and full value. v Harmon's training as an old school Democrat, which accounts for his championship of state rights, also led him to digress from his main theme and to take a whack at the protective tariff.
